    30 will be here a lot quicker than you think. I also used to think 30 was old AF when I was 20.

    Now I’m 41 and I don’t know how it happened so goddamn fast. Every year, I get more and more anxious about trying to get shit done before my time comes.

      Contrary to popular similar stories I had the feeling that I was in my 20-25s for “I was there for a long time” and I was eager for the next decades (with a small break for depression but I got through) Now I’m 28 and it kinda feels it speeds up but I don’t complain (but I do complain about everything else, A LOT)

        It does speeds up. I remember my teens and 20’s and they weren’t that short. But next 2 decades are a blur. Either some brain quirk or just mindless drudgery taking up 80% or my time did that.

          yea makes sense given that at your 30s-40s it’s very likely that you’ve end up at your “career path” and after 1-2 years working on the same thing (otherwise you’d be full of stress) it becomes very mundane
